It’s the first full week of Spring and it’s actually starting to feel like Spring out there in Toronto. Yay! It’s sunny and bright, and I can already feel that the warmer weather will be here soon too – I’m sure of it! So today was day three of our big basement reno.

Must-Have Sunny Vacation Styles to Pack for Your Getaway
Now that the kids are covered, time to think about what I’m going to pack for our sunny vacation! We’re going to Orlando so of course we’re going to be doing a few Disney Park days (it’s a given) but I also want to spend some time relaxing and lounging by the pool too! We love Disney but I think as a family that lives in cold Toronto, we love being at the pool almost just as much! My must-haves for any sunny getaway are: A sleek black swimsuit A bikini in a fun floral pattern A cute cover up you can throw on Flip flops that can be dressed…

We had a great Family Day weekend here! Lots of puzzles, movies and playing around with the kids and the hubby and I actually got in a Valentine’s Day date night too…and not 2 months later like usual! Win for the parents!

I usually don’t need an excuse to dress up and get together for a good time with the girls! But I’ll be honest sometimes life does get busy, especially as a mom when you feel that dressing up is putting on your nicer pair of leggings.

Valentine’s Day Date Night Outfit Ideas
It’s the month of love and I am so excited about all things Valentine’s Day! Every year my husband and I try to get out for a date night around Valentine’s Day, but I’ll be honest it usually takes a few tries before it actually happens. Whether one of the kids gets sick (or one of us), no babysitter or just plain too tired, it eventually does happen, maybe a month or two later! I don’t mind though, I think our best date nights are usually the ones where we’re hanging out at home, having a glass of wine and watching a great movie! And I personally love to celebrate…
